North Carolina Landfill And Transfer Station Operators Courses Information

Register for the courses to become certified in North Carolina as Landfill and/or Transfer Station Operators; attend to obtain 10-PDHs toward renewal of existing North Carolina Certifications.  Registering online is available (and preferred).  We can accept credit card payments at the time of registration, or you can select "Mark as Unpaid" on the payment screen and print an invoice to turn in for approval.

National SWANA determines the number of PDH's for Manager's certifications such as Manager of Landfill Operations, Transfer Station Management, etc.  Be advised that the number of PDH's awarded have been less than 10.
